You can make each stage's responsibilities explicit by assigning a team member a task on it — a to-do that's created automatically when a candidate reaches the stage. Editing a job's workflow needs the manage-jobs permission.
Before you start
Required role: a role with the Manage jobs permission
Where to find it: Jobs → Edit a job → Workflow tab → a stage's automations
How to assign a task to a stage
On the Workflow tab, open the stage and add a Create Task automation.
Choose the team member to assign, set a due date, and add a description.
Save. When a candidate reaches that stage, the task is created for that person automatically.
💡 Assignees come from the job's team (add them on the Team tab first). This is the same task automation covered in Assign Automated Tasks in Your Workflow.
